I am really excited to welcome @Manda Jackson who is an AI visual content wizard. I don't do the usual please welcome post because to be fair most of us know each other from BYOB except @Artworqq Kevin Suber (belated welcome) - and everyone else I know personally. I am really looking forward to getting into visual content in a bigger way and both Kevin and Manda are brilliant and work together on a magazine.

Its the first 'Went Well Wednesday' and I am here to provide an update of what I have been up to this week. As the experiment started Monday there isn't much to report in terms of stats but I am happy with progress so far. Inspirational Guidance I updated the homepage and removed all products and blog posts. Now it is a landing page with one job - encourage registration. I also made a video. As I have 174 DE-INDEXED articles and only 4 indexed articles right now 🤬I am working through updating the more important ones. The main thing I have to do is add a couple of "real life" stories to the articles and if I mentioned research cite my sources. I am just working on that by updating 2 or 3 articles a day. The most important articles are the ones attached to my cluster pages. I mention cluster or hub pages in the classroom. Here is a link to my PAUSE Method - because this is a method I created myself I have put more EEAT Clout onto it. So, I need to make sure all the blog posts attached to this hub are indexed again. I have 6 of these cluster pages on the site. Some more important than others. I found an ebook I wrote in 2013 and I am currently updating that, which I will also add as my own method for building self-confidence. This is what I used myself to help me. If you knew me when I was in my 20s you will know it worked 😂 So, that is how I am updating my site to ensure my site is seen as trustworthy to the search engine Gods and displays my expertise. Of course I also gave the site the same EEAT boost I gave to Djangify (IG is a custom built site using Djangify) and added the back-end Schema stuff search engines and AI engines need to read the site. SUBSTACK Joined and set everything up on Monday. I have two new subscribers (not counting you wonderful people who followed me) that I didn't know before joining Substack. I am going to focus all my attention on it for the next couple of weeks - maybe month. I really love it just for being around experts and writers with knowledge and something to say.

A couple of months ago while I was fairly new in a business group and levelling up I noticed someone called @Elena Maren had liked something I said and that helped me move up a level. I don't have the date. I know it was around April 2026. We connected and decided to level up together. It took hours and hours of commenting and liking and during that time we had a long chat about health and food. Juicing. TV. Stuff we love. I ended up joining her amazing Skool community. So imagine my surprise when I get tagged today in a group post and it turns out not only did my group get featured in Skool ads on Facebook but right beside me once again is Elena. I mean come on. Of all the thousands of groups they could have put there we end up together ☺️ what are the odds!

This is a screenshot of what Google shows right now if I search for Inflameless (the name of my website). Yey!!! I am there with the 2 links (one from inflamless.com and one from the Skool community) The changes have been implemented few days ago so I am really impressed by the results! I will have to get here with my name as well but I still have to make some changes here and there (especially on Amazon where changes take more time to get implemented) and I will come back with news on this as well. @Diane Corriette , you rock!

When we start out selling digital or low-content products, our first big milestone is always the same: How do I make my first one hundred, 300 or £($ €)500. We are usually told to go where the traffic is - places like Etsy or Amazon. Or we are told to use "free" tools like Gumroad. But "free" is often the most expensive word in digital business because these platforms reward your hard work by taking a massive cut of your success. To be completely clear: I AM NOT anti-marketplace. They are a fantastic place to start, get your feet wet, and make those initial sales. But marketplaces are a starting block, not a permanent foundation. When you are ready to genuinely build, nurture, and sustain your 1,000 true fans, you need a much more solid base. Let’s look at what hitting that First 500 milestone actually looks like across the landscape when selling a £5.99 product: - Amazon KDP (Low-Content/Print): For books under £9.99, Amazon takes a 50% cut right off the top. Then, they deduct the printing costs from your remaining half. You often walk away with less than £1 per book for your own hard work. - Gumroad: They hit you with a 10% flat platform fee on every single sale, plus processing fees. To make your first £500 clean, you have to hand them £50+ a month just for automated delivery. - Etsy: They turn your unique expertise into a commodity, show your competitors' listings right under your product, and bury you deep in the search results unless you pay for internal ads. I built Djangify because your true fans shouldn't live on rented space. They belong at your home hub. Google’s latest E-E-A-T algorithm updates have made it clear: search engines want to reward real, distinct, independent expert sites—not crowded marketplace pages where you are hidden in the noise. For a flat monthly fee, Djangify gives you a clean eCommerce architecture where you keep 100% of your profits (minus standard Stripe processing), build real Google authority, and own your digital footprint.
